Art has been a huge love of mine since forever
and
I haven’t spent enough time doing it
so
I am challenging myself
so
I made some prompts inspired by this post on the lovely blog called A Beautiful Mess
and
here’s what I came up with:

1) What happened this week that was positive? Incorporate bright colors into your page(s).
2) What has weighed heavily on your mind this week? Draw whatever comes to mind.
3) How did you see beauty in the world this week? Collage some images that represent that beauty to you.

I have been going coo-coo for overalls (not a cocoa puff fan)
but
I haven’t placed a pair of these bad boys on my body since about 6th grade
so
I’m a lil hesitant
but
I’m going to make some anyway after I find a pair to alter at the thrift store
and
these are my inspirations

I’ve always loved words
but
I’ve never really felt like a very eloquent gal
so
when I came across The Striver’s Row, I become obsessed
and
I can’t even handle the amount of talent & youth & social awareness they have
so
